Service was fairly quick, and my salisbury steak was the best I've ever had. The sides of coleslaw and (super buttery) mashed potatoes were also flavorful and filling and balanced the meal out perfectly.

Just look at the photos- you can see the perfection. Family owned- there were three (maybe four) generations behind the counter and we watched them bread and fry the shrimp and cook everything on demand. Nothing is frozen or pre made. The guys were friendly and fun to chat with; felt like you're at home. This is by far the best soul food seafood restaurant I've ever been to, and besides one other place in Front Royal that offers very different fare it's the best place to get a meal. Please visit this establishment so they stay in business forever. This is the food we all deserve.

From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed by both waitresses. The one directed us to a chalkboard menu on the wall for the specials of the day. With it being our first time there we opted to have a seat with menus. Service right from the get go was warm, friendly, accommodating, and informative. I can see why this is a local favorite. Great spot to get some home styled comfort food on a budget. Would recommend giving the meatloaf a try. I especially appreciated being offered to have my sweet tea refilled to go.

And the food, don't get me started, my burger was so spicy with pepper that I almost spit it out. The only thing that chef can cook well is scalloped potatoes. And I'm sure he just microwaves them from a can like he cooks everything else at that restaurant. What a disappointing evening out on the town of Dayton!

The delectable smokehouse flavors envelop your mouth with every bite. I got the pulled pork sandwich meal with potato salad while my friend got the brisket sandwich meal with macaroni and cheese. Despite the fact that we were ravenous after hiking up a mountain all day in the rain, we could barely finish our meals! The succulently smoked meat was packed in a fresh, toasted bun and covered in tasty bbq sauce. Even the potato salad had the perfect blend of potatoes, mayo, and relish for a refreshing side. The staff there were also extra friendly with their curbside service despite the lateness of the hour (nearing closing) and the drizzle. Growing up in Texas I take my barbecue seriously, and this place is one I will frequent anytime I'm passing through Front Royal. I don't need mountains to have this mountain top experience!

We had food catered for a family event, costing nearly $2K and I was shocked with how little care, energy and flavor were placed on the items. Their namesake, greens, along with most of the other items, were clearly from a bag, can or freezer off a shelf that morning. Most of our food went untouched and we couldn't convince anyone to take any leftovers home. Do not order their banquet style food. To be clear, I am willing to pay what it costs for delicious food! What they charged would've been fine if the food was good... I really am rooting for this business but they need to put more work in to justify any cost. Good luck!

I just had two sides, as that was enough. Four pieces of chicken with honey butter drizzled over it with biscuits underneath and then I had the fried cinnamon apples and green beans, and those were good sides to go with it. I really wanted to try the hash brown casserole but I knew that would be too much. Three sides and four pieces of chicken! That's no way. I had the half-and-half: the lemonade and the tea, which was a really great combination, not too sweet. My mother had the fish and loved it. It was a great portion size and it was a great flavor. Our service was quick. The food came out very quickly and our server kept us up to date as to how things were going. She brought the corn muffins quickly although I saved those and took them home as it would have been way too filling. I did have the corn muffins at home and I found them to be flavorless and dry and probably should have tried the biscuits. I was expecting the corn muffin to be very flavorful as it is in other restaurants. We were there in the middle of the day on a Sunday and it wasn't very crowded so we were seated immediately. Luckily we went and shopped for candy in the store after we ate as we would have spent way more money had we done that before eating. Highly recommend a visit here.

No "full" bar so some drink options weren't available- like a martini for example. We ordered off the brunch menu and most of our plates were left totally empty. Honorable mention to the chicken and waffles, just the right about of succulent chicken and crunchy exterior. My French toast was very yummy too. Portions are larger which is nice. Our peach Bellini carafe afforded a few of us a glass with our meal. The crispy brussels cane highly recommended but they were a little charred for my taste. Service was prompt and courteous. A great brunch spot through and through!
